I’ve watched enough TV to know not to believe a character is dead until we see the body (and maybe not even then). So I’m using that knowledge to comfort myself that Nish and Gianluca aren’t really dead in Hotel Portofino. Yes, Danioni, who caught the pair

Poor Rose! I know I haven’t been exactly sympathetic towards her in these Hotel Portofino recaps. But you would have to have a heart made of stone to not feel for Rose in “Subterfuges.” She dons a sexy negligee and begins to seduce Lucian and tries to ...how do

Well, well, well, it seems like Cecil might finally (finally!) get his comeuppance in this week’s Hotel Portofino. Our not-so-favorite snake in the grass has gotten himself into quite a predicament. His Italian business partners from Detroit (a nice euphemism for the mafia) are tired of waiting for their

We didn’t really think Nish would die, did we? (I’ll admit I was slightly nervous. This is, after all, the same network that killed off Lady Sybil in Downton Abbey.) Thankfully, almost immediately, we see Nish peeking out in the back of a wagon. Eventually, it’s revealed

The second season of PBS’s Hotel Portofino kicks off with some stunning news: It seems the marriage of Lucian and Rose is not going well. I know, I know. Who would have thought that an arranged marriage between two people who have absolutely nothing in common wouldn’t work

PBS has finally released the trailer for Hotel Portofino Season 2, and, unlike public broadcast's typical thirty-second or one-minute clips, this is a nice long extended version, running almost three minutes. Unlike Season 1, which was edited to feel more like an ensemble piece with all the guests

When Hotel Portofino was initially announced in the spring of 2022 as coming to PBS, it was billed as a sort of Downton Abbey on the Italian coast, with an upper-class British family escaping the dreary post-World War I landscape up north to open a luxury hotel in the series&

It's the end of the first season of Hotel Portofino. Despite a clunky debut episode, the show was able to right the ship. The finale begins with a beautiful sunny morning. It's the sort that makes you feel like going for a swim, sketching a stunning

The penultimate episode of this season of Hotel Portofino begins with chaos right out of the gate, and it should be no surprise that Vincenzo Danioni can be found in the middle of it all. First, there's the hasty daybreak departure of Pelham Wingfield, who tells Bella he&

Last week's episode of Hotel Portofino ended with Lucian and Anish attempting to flee from a police raid on a secret anti-fascist meeting. Amid the chaos, the friends get separated. Lucian finds a hiding spot and finds his way home when the coast is clear. Down by the
